Can't support Radhakrishnan, says DMK
The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|August 19, 2025
EVEN as the BJP's state unit and AIADMK play the 'Tamil' card in a bid to pressure the DMK into extending its support for the NDA's vice-presidential candidate C P Radhakrishnan, DMK leaders said the party has no intention of backing him since ideology is "above all else".
"We will give preference only to ideology. We cannot support Radhakrishnan merely on the grounds that he is Tamil. We have to look at what his ideologies are," DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan told TNIE.
"BJP has not done anything for Tamil or TN. The BJP-led union government has not approved Keezhadi excavation reports, has not released due funds the state, and also is averse to the development of TN," he added.
